If we vote for Brexit what happens
Comments

Surely what matters is how other nations (soon including the EU) treat our imports and exports?
We import more cars from Europe than we export to Europe.
Is an example of what you are referring too?
There's going to be a huge amount of lobbying behind the scenes. With manufacturers with feet in both camps.0 -

Fortunately there are many sensible, intelligent remain voters who can adapt their opinions based on new information and on objective reasoning. People who will work within the new framework even if they doubt the outcome and help to make a success of it.
But of course there are a few hardened sour-faced miserable losers who simply want to endlessly complain, denigrate their opponents as 'toothless bigots' for example, and spend all their days desperately hoping for bad things to happen so they can have a self-congratulatory !!!! in the privacy of their EU memorabilia adorned bedrooms.
Thank god nobody is really listening to those people any more.0 -

I refuse to accept that I'm not intelligent or sensible for looking at a situation as I see it and making decisions based on that.
I still think leaving is not the right option and I still think it will backfire, however I do respect (if not understand) the views of others that May can get the deal she wants. I still think (as many in the EU do) that she's trying to have her cake and eat it.
I don't think the increased consumer spending will continue, as a) consumer debt is growing and b) there are many people coming into the UK from Europe at the moment for shopping trips, including a potential client yesterday who I met up with and took into London. I can think of 20-30 people I know personally who have done this, or about 2% of my non-UK EU contact book.
My views are very much dynamic, however I run a business that relies on the single market, and know a number more than do, and a lot of us are very concerned about the way the government is going.💙💛 💔0 -
Dianne Abbott's antics this week should not go unmentioned.
Having already proved herself to be a massive hypocrite & racist on many occasions, this week she took the opportunity to demonstrate that she's a snivelling coward too. Rather than support Comrade Corbyn, or her own pre-remain stance, she opted to pull a sickie a couple of hours before the vote. And yet strangely was able to happily tweet during the same period.

Proud day.
Just watched May enter EU conference in Malta - looking confident and happy. What a difference from 12 months ago when Cameron was a supplicant begging for concessions.

I was wondering how things might have played out if we had May batting for us from the start.
Would she have resisted calls for a referendum in the first place? Played it more skillfully? Got a better agreement from Brussells?“I could see that, if not actually disgruntled, he was far from being gruntled.” - P.G. Wodehouse0 -

What? So you don't think these people will still come to London? What a laugh. It's going to be like a ghost town, as if. People from all over the world will still come flooding into London to throw their money around like there's no tomorrow, the chances are even higher now that the pound is so cheap.0 -
Don't know if anyone has read the white paper (I'm saving it for the weekend - living the dream!).
